User's notes
I saw two large black butterflies near the rainforest gully at the National Botanic Gardens. This one was drinking from water on the road but took flight just as I took the photo. it didn't land again long enough to photograph. Only a small part of the butterfly is visible but it appeared to be a Swallowtail to me, however it doesn't match any of the existing sighted Swallowtails.
